fermi's paradox       
                          
                                          
 on earth  (the  planet  where i  live) a 
 lot  of  us  have antennas on our houses 
 or   balconies,   we  have  built  large 
 antennas  for  larger  bandwith, we have 
     build specialized antennaes for      
   specific wavelengths (and sent them    
 into  orbit),  we've built large as fuck 
              antenna arrays              
 we've virtually built an  antenna with a 
          dish as large as earth.         
                                          
 we've learned about our  position in the 
     solar system, our solar systems      
 placement  in   the   galaxy,  and   our 
 galaxys placement in the  local cluster, 
 and our  local  clusters place  in the 
          grand scheme of things          
                                          
 and  we're  moving  around  the  sun  at 
 velocity  and the suns moving around the 
 center  of  the  galaxy  at velocity and 
 the galaxy  is  moving  toward andromeda 
   and we're both moving anticlockwise    
 around the  galaxy.  and we as a species 
 have learned to take all that in account 
                                          
 and  despite  all this,  despite all our 
   (cliche) beaming of fucking stellar    
 radio programmes  out  in  fucking space 
 at  the  speed  of  light  (light is our 
 medium! goodspeed you, black emperor!),  
      despite ghosts helping and the      
     collective consciousness lowpass     
    filtering, despite our very obvious   
 beaming  of  all our  secrets  in  every 
          direction known to us,          
                                          
 no        one      has       answered

              so why is that?             
                                          
 most opponents to  intelligent  life  in 
 the universe  say it's  because you need 
 a  class one-or-the-other  star  and the 
 planet  needs  to  be  at  a  see-and-so 
 distance away from  the star (like there 
           has to be a planet!)           
                                          
 but  really  isn't   that  keeping   the 
      definition of life really lax?      
                                          
 i think  everyone agrees that we have no 
 idea  what we're  doing (and it probably 
                  shows)

 i'm  gonna go smoke  my third  cigarette 
 this year  and try to snatch some  beers 
        from the local beer thing
